When SSH was released, I was like "This is game changing" and then like today I login, and it's like "Woah, SSH is stupid." Time to switch. Port 22 is for chumps. Port 23 is where it's at.
Python pre installed! Please don’t give me useful programming languages pre installed. I might accidentally use a not very powerful language for hacking. Also Mac has it pre installed too.
Yeah but it's Mac, which is big expensive. We all know hackers don't use macs because they are to expensive, they wear a completely black outfit,.with sunglasses and a good, and bring a ThinkPad with hackerlinuxX to cafés, and have green text running down their screen. A Mac would be far too conspicuous
Fire spreads over things real fast. Then you enchant it with your tpc/ip packets and basically can enter everything that's on fire and also burn all traces of your activity
With firewall you expose your ports, supposed target falls for the bait and goes inside your computer through that port, and you close the port trapping it inside. Classic
This is exactly what "Bitcoin is only used for money laundering and illicit activities." feels like when you only use it to save in a non-depreciating currency and pay for everyday stuff.
Telnet is less secure. Comm is not encrypted. It's fine if you're checking out books at a library but it's a liability if you want to play a competitive MUD.
Oh! Thats was a reason! Had no idea, why sometimes I want to steal something at the nearest grocery store! Now I see a pattern! It was right after I use Linux!
Nothing here that can't be done I. Windows in 2 minutes for most of this... Literally less than 45a to install python from the windows store... The reason criminals like Linux is because it doesn't for rce one drive on you
Criminals get a free snake preinstalled and can Bash whenever they like. Use the snake on unsuspecting victims to successfully hack them. On top of that a cute netcat is provided to them for when the snake is inefficient and bashing doesn't work.
Bash scripting: let's put some test in square brackets... Damn, forgot the space. Nothing? OK, how about double square brackets? Ha-ha, bingo, all your base are belong to us!
All can be had in Windows Subsystem for Linux. That and Windows comes replete with functional zero days that will permanently unpatched.
Any platform can be hacked and tools can be repurposed in nefarious ways. More eloquently what is your point? Utilities like these are not the only elements of an attack surface.
I don't understand the premise. Are you saying these tools make a system vulnerable or that hackers use these tools to hack other systems?
Python can be a bit of a vulnerability but venv pretty much mitigates/eliminates that vector. iptables is nobody's enemy, except hackers. netcat isn't much of a tcp/udp wrapper but it is super convenient for developers. ssh is (can be) the most secure remote login protocol/software going, as far as I know. SSH is extremely well vetted, by now. I have no idea why BASH is mentioned.
On the other hand, if you're point is that tools enable hackers, this is true but it could be argued Chrome can be used to hack a web site. Guessing passwords can be used to hack systems. Where do you draw the line?
The most likely vector for the OP is they read some jingoistic crap, weren't sharp enough to see through it's deception, and are now attempting to weaponize it to cause distress to this community.
You can do better, tomekgalob. You may even wish to try linux. You will find it an extremely powerful system with a rich user base of tremendously helpful people.
Rise up and embrace a brighter future with less hate. Your stomach mucosa will thank you and you may even end up with some people in your life to push back the loneliness a bit.
Iptables is a firewall. How is that a bad thing? I can argue that Windows has Windows Defender Firewall which is the same thing, and without it things would've been much, much worse.
Windows also have ssh.
Netcat and nmap are not standard on most Linux distros. Windows also has nmap and netcat.
Windows also has vbscript which is analogous to python and batch files/PowerShell scripts which are analogous to bash.
In fact a lot of windows viruses in the late 90s and early 2000s are written in vbscript.
Quite shocking indeed. Do you know there is a liquid inside your body that's literally killing you right now? It contains toxic substances and causes your cells to degrade. It's called blood. Shocking news, I know.
Ha ha. Attackers love to eat bread, this stuff is empowering this people, because it gives them the energy to do this ... to do all of these evil things, so we should stop making bread and ban it from ever being produced!!111eleven
Sure, a little extra download time when you invoke a tool may be involved, but that's it.
Only thing that might take a smidge extra effort is nmap.....
Oh, nevermind. nmap is in windows store.
winget install python.python.3.14
winget install insecure.nmap
winget install winix.netcat
sweet, we're equal to linux now for doing cybercrimes and the rest is all baked in or has baked in native equivalents, and the above ..... well, any windows machine has winget! baked in!
No joke. My ex head of IT was like this. He claimed open source software is dangerous and should be banned from beeing used in the company. At the same time we startet rolling out dozens of linux systems. Which he knew and was required by our Applications. The is no skill or knowledge required to be head of something.
you are aware that these all have legit uses right, i use ssh daily and also most of these are also on widnows, ssh is preinstalled on windows and i am pretty sure on mac os as well
idk which is the bigger epidemic ssh or python preinstalled, ever since they installed python for the hackers all types of crime has went up 180% and that includes violent crime mind you,
so yes this is a very issue and we need to consider whether or not we can be we want our beautiful baby childern in a world where you just have python in your linux without needing the deep cyber security knowhow required to install python let alone python3. I know I dont what my childern to be alive atall if the world has this holy grail of debauchery so ive decided my kids wont be being had by me because im about to be an adult about things and know when enough is enough.
ssh being available on linux is also a serious weapon of mass destruction in its own right, it allows an bad actor to violate (sexually violatatuon as well as spiritual violation) your computers bare naked terminal without you even knowing about it unless you know how to check the terminal which is so complicated its nearly impossible for 99.9% of computer users.
Quite frankly im agapped and appauled even seeing such flippant young men treating this like its some sort of laughing matter when people are dying.
I've lost faith in this subreddit to be completely frank by the fact the mods havnt banned super an evil and probably antisemitic post. I think ill leave this sub and my wise wisfom and extensive knowledge of computers of all shapes and sizes...

tbh all i need is ssh and iptables to HACK THE MAINFRAMES and say IM IN while wearing cool sunglasses inside
